Hello! While searching for subreddits for toxic relationships I stumbled upon r/ToxicDreamz which caught my eye. It has an NSFW tag with just made me more curious. The subreddit’s posts are only made by two users: the creator and a person posting their nudes/amateur porn.

The posts made by the creator are always the same; these date back to 200+ days ago. The first post being, “I’ll be leaving Reddit.” and the second one is “Taking applications for new mod. we passed 300!!! need some help posting more regularly.”. When you click on the post it’ll always have the same sentences. The only time that the creator doesn’t post the same thing dates back to 2 years ago which is just reposted porn. The description of the subreddit has slang and bad grammar.

The second person posting is a person either promoting their porn or stealing someone else’s. The only time that the subreddit changes from the two posts is when this person posts. This account threw me off as I’m not entirely sure it’s the same person in every video. I didn’t look closely into the faces but the setting tends to change per post. The account posts the same videos to multiple transgender NSFW subreddits which not uncommon for these types of accounts. The posts don’t usually get a lot of attention in this specific subreddit which confuses me as to why they keep posting.

If anyone knows anything about this let me know. I’m sorry that my post was worded horribly I was kinda in a rush. Any information helps, thank you!

I wasn’t really sure where to put this, but several months ago, I posted on the Unresolved Mysteries Subreddit about the mystery of George J. Stein, who was featured on Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack during its first season. Over the years, Unsolved Mysteries aired several segments about lost heirs during its original 12 seasons with Stack. Obviously, with today’s technology and DNA testing, it is much easier to find heirs of people who died without leaving a will so that a blood relative can claim their estate.

I’m wondering if there are any other TV shows, YouTube channels, or podcasts that cover cases of missing money or lost fortunes from people who passed away, whose family or identity has yet to be figured out? If you know of any cases like this—whether current or from years ago—please let me know about them. Also, again I ask if you know of any TV shows, podcasts, or YouTube channels that cover missing money or fortune cases to tell me about them so I can watch and listen to them. Thanks!

Since the Lost Media sub is not for unidentified media I felt like bringing this here. There's another song from another show I want to share here too but I'll do this one first.

This episode of Pingu I remember well called "Pingu and Pinga at home" has their parents go out to a concert which plays some famous music I can't remember what but it is famous, but my question here is what is the music that plays on the radio at home when Pingu and Pinga are having fun? The Pingu wiki page used to say it was called "off to the races" but then a comment on the page said this was not the case.

The episode is from the 90s and I wonder if those that made it could help.

Hi all, I have been looking for this commercial for years and years, and hoping it rings a bell for someone.

I remember absolutely nothing about what system/game it was for, but it stuck with me since I saw it. It was only around for a few months and I never saw it again.

All I remember is that it was in black and white and showed a bunch of older people- the sort who wouldn't have usually played video games (at least back then ho ho ho)- doing really sinister things. Saying weird threatening things, for instance. The only specific frame I remember is a lady who looks like somebody's grandmother, leaning over a counter and fondling a knife. I just remember thinking "wtf is this???" and wondering why the ad had to be so creepy. It was very offputting and weird so of course that makes me want to see it again. Thanks marketing execs!

If anybody can recall seeing this and tell me what it is you would be mah hero.

"Since 2011 Levy has been working on his long-awaited album Survivor (the album originally had the working title It's About Time. In 2017 he released the first single from the album GSOAT yet the album remains unreleased." This is the tiny bit of info on his wiki page.

The album was said to have star studded guests including Snoop Dogg, Jadakiss, Busta Rhymes and Beres Hammond.

The album would be his first of all original material in over 30 years, was it scrapped, is it still unfinished after all this time? not a huge mystery maybe but thought it's a little bit different and see what people think or if anyone has any more info

Update: I thought I'd rewrite this post as the picture is a little clearer now though the answer still eludes!

There is a text (or set of texts) floating around the internet that appears to be nonsense. Examples:

• "Had men rose from down lady able. Its son him ferrars proceed six parlors. Her say projection age announcing decisively men. Few gay sir those green men timed downs widow chief. Prevailed remainder may propriety can and."
• "Savings her pleased are several started females met."
• "Middleton sportsmen sir now cordially ask additions for."
• "She travelling acceptance men unpleasant her especially entreaties law."

There are some unique words ("ferrars", "middleton", "incommode") etc. that point to a single source for the words, and indeed all the words in the text apparently come from the novel "Sense and Sensibility" by Jane Austen - specifically an older rendering of the text that uses the words "shew" and "shewing" instead of "show" and "showing". (Thanks to u/bonzoflame for confirming). (I think "Nonsense and Sensibility" would be a good name for it!)

You can find the text(s) all over the web but some examples are here on Scribd.

The words seem to be picked at random from the text and assembled into sentences of varying length. My hunch is that this is truly random and there is nothing "smart" like a Markov chain or word-prediction going on, because the text does not generate any meaningful phrases or pick up on common phrases from the source text (e.g. "edward" and "ferrars" appear from the novel but never the name "Edward Ferrars").

The full text seems to be fixed and unchanging (i.e. it has been generated once and then duplicated many times) but appears in chunks of varying length, usually at least several paragraphs. It is clearly used as "dummy text" or "placeholder text" similar to Lorem ipsum.

• If you search for the text on Google, you will find literally hundreds, maybe even thousands of results where the text is used on low-effort blog posts and website designs.
• It is used on Reddit when users want to overwrite their existing posts with random text.)
• It's also been used as dummy text for the SentinelOne software.
• It was used as the text for several props attached to a noticeboard in S4E4 of The Boys.

The mystery is - and it is a very low-stakes mystery but still:

• Who created this text?
• When, and why?
• Why has it spread so much?
• Where do people find it when they want to find dummy text?

I guess it's fascinating because the text seems so creepy, like a mantra. It sounds like something the Hiss from Control would be saying. If you say it out loud it definitely will summon something.

A couple of things it's not:

• It's not Lorem ipsum. Lorem ipsum is Latin-style text that is randomly generated each time, and this is English words and always appears in the same fixed text (or paragraph-length chunks of that text).
• It's not Austen Ipsum: Random Jane Austen Dialogue Generator - This outputs entire sentences (not jumbled up words) and the text used is Pride and Prejudice.
• This page - "Build a Markov Chain Sentence Generator in 20 lines of Python" - feels like a good lead, but the output is lowercase without punctuation and the text used is Pride and Prejudice again.

On a balmy night in Kuala Lumpur, March 8, 2014, Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 prepared for its routine journey to Beijing. Inside the bustling terminal, 227 passengers and 12 crew members boarded the aircraft, unaware that they were about to become part of one of the greatest aviation mysteries ever to take place.

Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, a seasoned pilot with over 18,000 flight hours, and his first officer, Fariq Abdul Hamid, were at the helm. The plane lifted off the runway at 12:41 AM, ascending into the starlit sky. For the next 38 minutes, everything was as it should be. The aircraft reached its cruising and the crew exchanged routine communications with air traffic control.

At 1:19 AM, a calm voice from the cockpit delivered the final words heard from MH370: "Good night Malaysian Three Seven Zero." Shortly thereafter, the aircraft's transponder, which broadcasts location and altitude, went silent, and the plane vanished from radar screens as if it had never existed.

Puzzled air traffic controllers in Kuala Lumpur tried repeatedly to re-establish contact but were met with absolute silence. Initial searches focused on the South China Sea, the plane’s intended flight path, but no wreckage was found. Families of the passengers and crew waited in anguish, clinging to hope with growing uncertainty.

Days turned into weeks, and the search area expanded. Military radar data revealed a chilling twist: after losing contact, MH370 had deviated sharply from its course and out over the Andaman Sea. The aircraft continued to fly for hours, leaving many unanswered questions.

A British satellite telecommunications company provided the next clue. Their analysis of suggested MH370 had flown south, deep into the expanse of the southern Indian Ocean. This revelation shifted the search thousands of miles from the plane’s last known location.

An international effort ensued, deploying advanced technology and scouring millions of square miles of ocean floor. Yet, despite these exhaustive efforts, the sea refused to give up its secrets. It wasn't until July 29, 2015—more than a year after the disappearance—that a piece of the aircraft washed ashore on the distant island of Réunion, east of Madagascar. This discovery confirmed that MH370 had indeed met its end in the Indian Ocean, yet it brought little solace and very few answers.

Over the next several years, additional debris washed up on coastlines around the Indian Ocean. Each piece was a silent testament to the tragedy, yet none provided conclusive insights into what had happened during the plane’s final hours.

There were many theories about what could have caused the series of events to take place. Was it a mechanical failure, an act of terrorism, or something more insidious like pilot suicide? The Malaysian government’s report in 2018 acknowledged that the flight's course change was likely due to manual inputs but could not conclusively determine why or who was responsible.

The mystery of MH370 lingers on, sadly still affecting of those who lost loved ones and capturing the imagination of people worldwide. It serves as a stark and unsettling reminder of how, in an age of technological marvels, a massive airliner with 239 people can still disappear without a trace.

I wanted to post this on lost media but they don't allow unidentifed media. I used to watch this Eyewitness dinosaur documentary over and over on VHS as a kid these books and their VHS series were popular in the 90s and 00s for kids. They use a lot of stock footage to go along with what they're talking about.

At the 6:55 mark of the dinosaur episode there's this footage I remember well as a kid where the narrator talks about a dinner party being held in one of the dinosaur sculptures made in the olden days for London's crystal palace park.

We see some old footage of two women having dinner (which I used to think was from the actual event he's talking about when it's actually made to give a sort of liminal feel of what it looked like). One is talking but I can't make out anything she's saying especially when the narrator starts talking again apart from "nothing coarse about that."

I was curious to know where this footage I've remembered so well over the years was from but the wiki page for this episode and the IMDB page have no information about this footage, only the other footage that appears. I think though some more footage from the episode isn't identified either like some guys digging and a Chinese dragon parade. I wonder if we could figure out where it's from thanks for any help.

One of my two flatmates have been binning a large amount of used toilet paper in the bathroom bin. The bin starts overflowing on a regular basis. For context, they are both guys, and the toilet is in perfect working order and is able to flush paper. I am just confused and want to know why they are putting such a big quantity of paper in the trash, I don't want to ask either of them because that would be a bit awkward.

Edit: I think it is shit, this disturbs me because they regularly let the bin overflow and there is no bin liner in there

Seascale, as you might guess, is a small, picturesque village by the sea. What you might not guess is that the village is located 1 mile south of the Sellafield Nuclear Reprocessing Plant, the largest nuclear site in Europe, which converts spent fuel from nuclear reactors around the world into reusable products. The establishment of the site in 1950 was a boon for the local economy, and attracted skilled professionals from across the country to live and work in Seascale. Link

In October 1957, Sellafield experienced the worst nuclear accident in British history, when a uranium cartridge ruptured due to overheating. A fire burned for 16 hours and released radioactive fission products into the atmosphere; this included an estimated 20,000 curies released from iodine-131, which was blown by wind over a wide swathe of Western Europe. Subsequent testing found the highest levels of iodine-131 by far in milk, leading the British government to ban the sale of milk over a 200-square-mile area for several weeks. In total, about 3 million liters of milk were dumped. Iodine-131 concentrates in the thyroid, raising fears of a surge in thyroid cancer cases. Following the incident, local testing revealed high levels of radioiodine—up to 16 rads—in the thyroid glands of children, who are most susceptible to thyroid cancer. However, a study published on 16 August 2024 found no increase in thyroid cancer cases among children following the accident, in contrast to more major accidents such as Chernobyl. Link, link, link

The Seascale childhood cancer cluster

"Windscale: the nuclear laundry" was not an unbiased documentary, but after first airing on 1 November 1983 on Yorkshire Television, it triggered a debate and mystery that has lingered for decades. The documentary identified a cluster of childhood leukemia cases in Seascale, and blamed it squarely on radioactive discharge from the nearby Sellafield nuclear site. An epidemiological study published in the British Medical Journal on 3 October 1987 confirmed that, between 1950 and 1983, childhood leukemia deaths in Seascale were 10 times above the national average; childhood deaths from all other cancers were 4 times above average. Link, link

The investigation committees

In 1983, the Minister of Health commissioned an independent advisory group, led by Sir Douglas Black, to investigate the Seascale cancer cluster. In 1984, the advisory group published a major report confirming the existence of the cluster, and made recommendations for a series of further studies to determine its cause. This led to the creation of the Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment (COMARE) in November 1985, which over 40 years has published a total of 19 reports on the Seascale cancer cluster, the health effects of radiation, and related matters. COMARE operates under the Department of Health and Social Care, but provides advice to and hosts scientists and experts from a wide range of government departments. It has directed the decades-long investigation into the cause of the Seascale cancer cluster, which will now be discussed. Link

The cause

Radioactive discharge from the Sellafield nuclear site

It's a theory that has now fallen out of favor, but given the proximity of the nuclear plant, and the known role of radiation in leukemia pathogenesis, it had to be investigated immediately. At Sellafield, high-radioactivity waste is stored on-site, but low-radioactivity waste is discharged into the air, and also 2 km into the sea via pipelines; regulations limit the amount of waste that may be discharged. Radiation can cause mutations in blood cells which can drive the development of leukemia. Link, link

However, the radiation emitted from these activities is far too low to explain the Seascale cancer cluster. The exposure to the local population is just a few percent of background radiation, which comes from a variety of natural sources such as radon gas from the ground and even potassium-40 in bananas. COMARE's fourth report, published on 1 March 1996, concluded that, based on known science, radiation from Sellafield would not have caused a single excess leukemia death. Link, link

Carcinogenic chemicals from the Sellafield nuclear site

Sellafield workers are known to be exposed to a range of carcinogenic chemicals, such as formaldehyde and trichloroethylene, through their occupation. However, despite their exposure and the local cancer cluster, these workers are not at increased risk for cancer, and there is no association between exposure to these chemicals and the identified childhood cancer cases. This was the subject of a major Health and Safety Executive report published in October 1993. Link, link, link

Random chance

A death rate ten times above the national average is horrifying. That said, you may be a bit surprised if you look at the raw numbers. Seascale is a small village, and there were only about 1000 births between 1950 and 1983. At national rates, Seascale should have seen 0.5 deaths from leukemia below age ten; it instead endured 5 leukemia deaths. For all other cancers—Seascale should have seen 1 death, at national rates; it instead endured 4 deaths. Link

These are small numbers. Was it just bad luck? That is highly unlikely. A statistical analysis published on 9 January 1993 calculated a less than 1% probability that the cancer cluster was caused by random chance. By COMARE's 2005 analysis, the Seascale cluster is the most severe childhood leukemia cluster in England. Link, link, link

Virus

The final possibility, and the current scientific consensus, is perhaps also the most horrifying. A trail of clues suggest that an unknown virus or viruses are responsible for a significant number of leukemia cases.

1. A rare subtype of leukemia known as adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) is known to be caused by human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV-1). This disease was not detected in Seascale, but its etiology demonstrates that a virus can cause blood cancer. HTLV-1 is a retrovirus which modifies the genome of infected cells, transforming healthy T cells into cancer cells. Link
2. Migration and population mixing increase the incidence of leukemia, indicating the presence of an unidentified infectious agent. For example, rural communities which have high growth rates from migration and which have transient workforces suffer from greater leukemia death rates. These communities include new settlements, and areas near military bases and major infrastructure construction projects. Link, link, link, link
3. Which brings us back to Seascale. The village expanded greatly between the 1950s and the 1970s amidst the construction of new housing for workers at Sellafield, who came from across the country to live and work in Seascale. Its population increased threefold in the 1950s alone. The theory is that these newcomers continually introduced new viruses to the community, triggering a silent epidemic that eventually became a leukemia cluster. Link, link, link

What virus was responsible?

Here, the answer remains a mystery. No virus has been identified as the cause of the Seascale cancer cluster.

Associations have been found between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), where higher levels of virus are correlated with presence of the disease and poor prognosis. However, it is unclear whether the virus drives CLL or whether CLL makes individuals more susceptible to EBV due to a weakened immune system. EBV infection is very common, with 90% of people being infected—most during childhood. Severe complications, such as cancer, are nonetheless very rare. Similarly, the Seascale cluster and other leukemia clusters may have been caused by a virus that is widespread, like EBV, but that only causes complications in a small fraction of cases. This would make it hard to identify. Link, link

Professor Mel Greaves argues that leukemia is driven primarily by the immune response to a pathogen, rather than by a specific pathogen. Infections, whether viral or bacterial, strain the immune system and stimulate it to produce more cells to send into blood circulation, which increases the risk of an oncogenic mutation. Link

The end of an epidemic

What happened was a tragedy, but it is also now history. The Seascale childhood cancer cluster no longer exists. A study published on 22 July 2014 showed that it ended around 1990, and—mercifully—there have been no childhood leukemia deaths since. Link

Today I opened up a brand new bottle of Gold Bond hand cream and the second I pumped the lotion into my hand I got zapped by a rather large static shock. Just for the hell of it, I did a cursory Google search to see if anyone else had experienced this and, as it turns out, I'm definitely not the only one.

This Amazon Q&A page for a different moisturizer product has dozens and dozens of people across eight pages of replies reporting that they, too, have been shocked by their Gold Bond lotion, going back as far as four seven years. And I even found this random forum poster talking about the same thing all the way back in 2009. I tried googling a few other popular moisturizer brands + static shock and got nothing - it seems to be a Gold Bond-specific problem.

Normally I wouldn't question a static shock as they're such a common part of everyday life, but to be zapped by lotion specifically, and to have so many people corroborate that experience, it got me curious. Is there something in the manufacturing process that would cause this to happen? Something in the ingredients? And why does it only seem to be happening with Gold Bond products?

Another thing: a number of the commenters on the Amazon listing mention that the spark they saw from the shock was orange in color. The forum poster mentions this too. I didn't see the spark from my own shock, but every time I have seen static in the past it's been blue. What gives?

(Apologies if this post doesn't really belong in this sub. I tried posting in a science-focused subreddit and it was removed so I honestly have no idea where this should go.)

The dying are normally granted the mercy of having their loved ones by their side, but not Janet Parker. Lying in a hospital isolation ward near Birmingham, England, Parker's contacts—some 260 people, ranging from family members to ambulancemen—had all been quarantined. Parker had been diagnosed with smallpox. Her case was a shock not just to the community, but to the whole world—smallpox had not been diagnosed anywhere in the world for a year, and was about to be declared eradicated by the World Health Organization (WHO) following an aggressive, historic vaccination campaign.

Janet Parker, a 40-year-old medical photographer at the University of Birmingham Medical School, fell sick on 11 August 1978. Developing red blisters around her body, she was initially diagnosed with chickenpox. By 24 August, her condition had deteriorated and she was admitted to Catherine-de-Barnes Isolation Hospital, where she was diagnosed with Variola major, the most severe form of smallpox. Contact tracers identified, vaccinated, and quarantined hundreds of her contacts. With a two-week incubation period, there were fears of a wider outbreak, though there was only one additional mild case of the disease.

Tragically, Parker's father, beset by stress, died from cardiac arrest on September 5. Parker's condition worsened; she developed pneumonia, suffered renal failure, and became partly blinded. After a painful, month-long battle against the disease, Janet Parker passed away on 11 September 1978. She was the last known person in the world to die from smallpox.

How was Janet Parker infected?

Analysis of the viral strain which had infected Parker removed all doubt—Parker had been infected by a strain which was handled at the smallpox laboratory at the University of Birmingham. The laboratory was led by Professor Henry Bedson, who quickly faced intense scrutiny from the media and regulatory officials. Bedson committed suicide on 6 September 1978.

Later government reports kept Bedson's lab, which was immediately shut down, under the crosshairs. Interviews with laboratory personnel revealed that, in violation of protocol, live virus was sometimes handled outside of designated safety cabinets, potentially generating aerosols containing the virus which could travel some distance outside of the laboratory. In a critical test, investigators sprayed bacterial tracers in the laboratory, and determined that aerosols carrying microbes could travel from the laboratory to a telephone room on the floor above, through a service duct. Access to the smallpox laboratory was restricted, and Parker was not known to have ever visited it. She was, however, the most frequent user of the telephone room, visiting it several times a day, every day, to call suppliers. A 1980 government report helmed by microbiologist R.A. Shooter identified this as the likely route of infection—aerosolized smallpox escaped from the laboratory via a service duct and infected Janet Parker in the telephone room.

And yet...

University of Birmingham found not guilty

The university was quickly charged with violation of the Health and Safety at Work Act. This court case called into question the findings in the Shooter Report, which had initially satisfied some observers.

Defending the University was Brian Escott-Cox QC, who had known Mrs Parker personally from the days when, as a police photographer she regularly gave evidence in court. The prosecution case relied largely on the suggestion that the lethal virus travelled by air ducting from the lab to a room where Mrs Parker was working.

But Mr Escott-Cox said: “It was clear to me we were going to be able to prove absolutely beyond any question of doubt that airborne infection of smallpox cannot take place other than between two people who are face to face, less than ten inches apart. Professor Bedson’s death was horrific and in the result quite unnecessary because however Janet Parker caught her fatal dose, there is no evidence to suggest it was as a result of any negligence or lack of care on behalf of anybody in the university, let alone Professor Bedson. Of course, the fact that he committed suicide was not unnaturally taken by the media as an admission of guilt. That is not true. He was an extremely caring man and I felt it was part of my duty, where I could, to emphasise what a careful and caring man he was.”

Over the course of a ten day trial Mr Escott-Cox’s arguments prevailed. After the not guilty verdict was delivered, the QC - a life-long lover of jazz and a talented trumpeter - and his junior, Colman Treacy, now Lord Justice Treacy, enjoyed a low-key celebratory lunch. With the preferred theory for how Mrs Parker was exposed to the virus effectively dismissed, how she contracted the disease remains Birmingham's biggest medical mystery. Now aged in his 80s, Brian Escott-Cox has had plenty of time to formulate his own opinion about what happened. “Once you have proved beyond any question of doubt that the smallpox could not have escaped from the laboratory and gone to Janet Parker, the overwhelming inference is that Janet Parker must, in some way or another, have come to the smallpox", he said.

To this day, the contradictions in the official account have not been resolved - raising the very real possibility that Professor Bedson was completely blameless. The most popular theory - that the virus travelled through air ducting from Professor Bedson’s smallpox laboratory to a room where Mrs Parker had been working - has been largely discredited. We have a new one. And it fits with tragic Mrs Parker’s last recorded words. Interestingly, she is not calling out for Joe, or her mother or father. On her death bed she repeatedy gasps one word: “Shame.”

The quote above is rather dramatic, but even the Shooter Report noted that other modes of transmission could not be ruled out. In particular, it mentioned the possibility that Parker was infected by a close contact who had visited the smallpox laboratory. Contact tracers identified a contact of Parker's—an irregular personnel—who would visit the laboratory without a lab coat and without washing hands.

Why was this individual not diagnosed with smallpox? Fortunately for this person, they were a member of a team which was regularly vaccinated against the disease. All members of the smallpox laboratory were regularly vaccinated. Janet Parker was not.

She may have been exposed by a contact who had an infection—rendered mild and invisible by recent vaccination.

Alarmingly, this smallpox laboratory was not a high-security facility. The Shooter Report noted that the door to the laboratory was often left unlocked, in violation of the laboratory's own restricted-access policy. Someone could have walked in and stolen some smallpox. The Birmingham incident led to the destruction of most of the world's remaining smallpox research reserves, though two stocks remain today—one in Atlanta and one in Moscow. There is ongoing debate over whether these last two reserves should be destroyed.

In 1980, at long last, the WHO declared the world to be free of smallpox. It was a monumental effort—a miraculous global vaccination campaign—that rid humanity of one of its oldest and most frightening foes. Hopefully, the story of Janet Parker is one that the world doesn't need to see again.

Who is on the cover of 1994's Alice in Chains EP - Jar of Flies?

One of more popular albums of the 1990s was Alice in Chains’ Jar of Flies EP. It was released during a turbulent time in the band’s history, as the original bass player had been kicked out and the rest of the band was going through personal demons. While the hard rock band had played acoustic songs before, this album showed the more harmonious and softer side and became the first EP to ever debut at #1 on Billboard. The name of the album is based on a 3rd grade science project of lead guitarist/vocalist Jerry Cantrell.

The cover art is the surprisingly unresolved mystery as the photographer somehow doesn’t know the boy’s name. He wasn’t a family member or anyone familiar to the band and is not known today. He would have been around 10 – 12 in 1994 and would be in his mid/late 30s today. Quick internet research cannot find anyone who claims to be the model. An article with the longtime AIC photographer discusses the issue and gives background on the cover shoot https://www.revolvermag.com/culture/alice-chains-jar-flies-see-rare-outtakes-ep-cover-shoot

I've seen on other posts on reddit some people claiming it's a boy called Damien LJ Carpenter and another woman claiming it's her niece Judith Giunta who is now a doctor

It was a quiet night in August 1977 when Peggy Hodgson, a single mother living in a council house in Enfield, North London, was awoken by the screams of her daughters, Janet and Margaret. When she rushed into their room, she found the girls clinging to one another, saying that their beds were shaking violently. Peggy didn’t see the beds shaking and after a quick look, couldn’t find anything or anyone that could have caused this to happen, so she just thought maybe the girls had a bad dream or pulling a prank, but little did she know that this was just the beginning.

Over the next few days, the strange occurrences just got more bizarre. Furniture began moving on its own, strange knocking sounds echoed through the walls, and small objects seemed to fly through the air. Now if this doesn’t sound scary, just imagine being in your home, a place where you find comfort and can let your guard down. Then suddenly, you hear knocking on the wall coming from the next room and you know that none of your family is in that room. Wouldn’t that freak you out?

One evening, as the family sat in the living room, a heavy set of drawers slid across the floor and only stopped when Peggy started pushing back against it. By this point she knew that this was no prank.

Desperate and frightened, Peggy sought help from her neighbours, who also witnessed some of these events take place. The police were called, and an officer reported seeing a chair move clear across the room. Unable to explain what they had seen, the police suggested contacting the local news. Soon, the story of the haunted house on Green Street became front-page news.

The situation caught the attention of Maurice Grosse and Guy Lyon Playfair, investigators from the Society for Psychical Research. They arrived at the Hodgson home, armed with cameras and recording equipment. Almost immediately, they experienced the phenomena firsthand: objects moving, eerie voices, and the chilling sight of Janet seemingly levitating off her bed.

Janet, just eleven years old, became the focal point of the activity. She would often speak in a gruff, male voice, claiming to be a man named Bill Wilkins who had died in the house years earlier. The strange part about this was that when she spoke in this voice, she would say things that Janet couldn't have known, which made it seem as though she was being used as a medium for some otherworldly entity.

For over a year, the investigators documented these events. They recorded countless hours of audio and took many photographs, including one that appeared to show Janet being flung across her room. The media, neighbours, and even sceptics visited the house, each coming away with their own stories of unexplained occurrences.

Despite the extensive documentation, not everyone was convinced. Some argued that the children, particularly Janet, were behind the disturbances. On occasion, Janet was caught bending spoons and attempting to fake phenomena, which could only make people doubt a lot of it ever happened.

However there was just so much that people had seen that they just couldn’t explain, so a lot of people were still convinced that something paranormal must be taking place. The sheer volume of witness testimonies and recorded evidence suggested that something extraordinary was happening at the Hodgson home.

In the years since, the story has inspired books, documentaries, and films, including the hit movie "The Conjuring 2." Whether a genuine paranormal event or an elaborate hoax, the Enfield Poltergeist continues to captivate and mystify, a chilling reminder of the unknown lurking just beyond our understanding.

Peggy never changed her story about the events in all her life until she passed away at the age of 73. Her daughter, Janet, claimed that although some of the events were exaggerated, the haunting was real and it stayed with her, even to this day.

The song appears at the beginning of each episode. As per credits, the main composer of the show is  Stéphane Meer. Can't find the exact name of the song or any information on the performers. I also found this tracklist, but not sure if the theme song appears on the list.

I'd like to preface this with starting I'm not sure if this is the correct subreddit to ask this in, but since it's a deeper rabbit hole than I expect to fit in any other simple "questions" subreddit I was told by a friend it could probably fit here, and that I'm not a native English speaker so my grammar might be off.

For some time now I've been wanting to watch some movies and every time I search something like "Is [Blank] on streaming sites" or "Is [Blank] on theatres" it brings ".gov" sites related to the US government, or ".edu" sites related to american colleges (although I've also found a few from Italian and French locations) This has become such a problem for me that when I look up anything related to movies I have to go through 1-2 Google pages of US government sites before reaching something concrete if my question is generic enough like movies from a time period or movies from a specific animation house.

These websites are your average "we are a government/education entity this is what we do" and there doesn't even seem to be a upload files, for example I found a link that seemed to go back to the government of Texas webpage (texas.gov) and the Minnesota Department of Revenue (www.revenue.state.mn.us)

I even went as far as to contact the Arizona State University (asu.edu) because if I looked up "Disney movies from [year]" first Google would give a list of movies, and just under that there consistently was Spam and SEO barf coming from their website, the statement of the person that took my message was simply "they were not aware of these articles on their site and would work on it promptly" (whatever that means)

I was wondering if anyone was better at sleuthing or getting an educated guess on why this is happening, it doesn't seem like anything user-submitted, like I said (and if you go on those examples yourselves) these websites have very little interaction past official statements from those entities.
